| | What is Metabolism and Why is it Important? |
| | Metabolism is the amount of energy (calories) your body burns to maintain itself. | | | When you are lifting weights or doing other resistance work, focus on the activity itself which not only burns calories but increases muscle strength, tone and endurance. | | | What this basically means is that person #1's body will use more calories to sustain itself than person #2. |

| | Most of the time your metabolism works effectively without you giving any thought to it. | | | Your body gets the energy it needs from food through a process called metabolism. | | | A calorie is a unit that measures how much energy a particular food provides to the body. |

| | Shape: The truth about metabolism: will a slow metabolism make you fat? Can spicy foods spike it? Could a pill speed it ... |
| | But if,you have a naturally slow metabolism, weight gain is by no means inevitable--and though it may be harder to shed body fat, it's nearly always possible, says weight-loss expert Pamela Peeke, M.D., M.P.H., an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. | | | A Experts agree that weight training is the most effective way to build and preserve lean muscle, though most seem to concur that the influence of muscle on metabolism is rather slight. | | | You may never burn calories as rapidly as, say, Serena Williams, but you can raise your RMR to a certain extent by exercising and building lean muscle. |
